imo the p2 is all i need for medium and dark roasted beans for my hario v60 pour over. it’s basically a grinder built to grind 1 serving size of coffee. the k6 is built to grind 2 servings of coffee but is much costlier in price. the burr size is 48 mm on the k6 but since it is made to grind double the amount of beans at a time versus the 1 serving portion with the p2 that is to be expected. the p2 housing is made of a durable plastic composition, versus the k6 in which the housing is metal, but baring severe abuse the abs plastic should not crack from an accidental fall. if one does not expect to grind espresso and only needs 1 serving of coffee at a time the 44 dollar cost of the p2 is all one needs to spend.

Thanks for the in-depth guide! Would you recommend the OE Lido over the 1zpresso J Ultra for someone looking for an all around grinder with a focus on espresso? I have the Breville Barista Pro and I’d like to upgrade my grinder and maybe experiment with pour over too. Mainly drink coffee for the chocolate and caramel notes. Thanks!

In reply to Bill Thomas. Hi Bill. I cover this a lot in the First Look for the X-Ultra; it comes down to how it feels in hand, how it works, and also the finer grind adjustment.

Thanks for the manual grinder comparisons. I was surprised, though, that you opted for the 1Zpresso X-Ultra as the best grinder, over their top of their line, K-Ultra. It’s not even on the “honorable mention” list. Why is the X-Ultra better?
